It was a good film.
A professor lost in Africa, was found living with apes and after
that was jailed being accused of the murder of 3 people. After a
time spent in the prison of an african country. He's sent back
to the U.S. There a doctor tries to investigate the reasons
behind the murders and the wild violence that shows the
professor from time to time, trying to overcome his silence.
(Obviously the young doctor looks for an advance in his
to-be-established career).
What we learn through the film is a questioning about what the
meaning of humanity and civilization are. Well discover the
reasons that drove the professor to his now apparently violent
conduct and just know that our concepts or "illusions" as are
stated in the film, are just simply that: "illusions".
The actors do it well, but some times the pace of the story is
very tedious, but the final result is a well rounded story,
giving us at the final, the change of mind and objectives in the
life of many of the characters.
I highly recommend this movie, because I think everybody needs
to make -and why not, answer- yourself the question about the
meaning of civilization.
